911 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-story, 16-unit building at 911 8th Avenue in South Slope, owned by George Malafis and built in 1890, has experienced recurring plumbing issues over the past several years. Most recently, in March 2025, there was a water supply complaint that was reportedly resolved after HPD intervention. This followed a pattern observed in 2020 when multiple plumbing-related complaints involving basins/sinks occurred, along with issues related to wall paint/plaster.

During these 2020 incidents, HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. The building also had three class A Housing Maintenance Code violations in October 2020, related to improperly maintained self-closing doors at public entrance areas and a failure to post gas leak procedures, though these were certified as corrected by January 2021. More recent building history includes a Department of Buildings complaint from November 2023 regarding work without a permit, though no violations were found upon inspection.

Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building since at least 2019, with all subsequent annual reports showing zero infested or eradicated units. The building's rodent inspection history shows initial rat activity in September 2012, but a compliance inspection in December 2012 resulted in a passing grade. While the building has experienced recurrent plumbing issues, it appears to have maintained a good track record regarding pest control and rodent compliance in recent years.
